470: I lost my bag, you lost face

“Seyid…collapsed?”

Hearing the sounds from the adjacent warehouse, Xia Ming and Hacker Claw immediately exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disbelief.

After all, Seyid was wearing special armor that even Level 5 bullets couldn't penetrate, and the two main teams that had entered the Administrative Building were either dead or had fled. How could he possibly be in danger?

“Could this be some sort of trick or scheme by Seyid?”

Xia Ming frowned, immediately suspicious.

“No way, right? Is he pretending to be defeated just to mess with us? Should we go check? It sounds like there’s really no movement over there.”

“I think it’s a bit dangerous… What if he’s just trying to trick us into going over there?”

“That makes sense too.”

Hacker Claw nodded silently; what Xia Ming said made a lot of sense.

After all, judging from Seyid’s previous reactions, for some reason, he seemed very interested in the two of them, being females.

While the two were somewhat puzzled by this, they didn't feel it was out of place.

Although they didn't know about Seyid's identity within the Restricted Zone, they could imagine the general atmosphere of the Asala faction in the other world.

As the saying goes, 'poor mountains and bad waters breed troublesome people.' How many good people could come out of Asala's soldiers?

Especially as two people who had experienced many years of battles within the Restricted Zone, they naturally understood the wickedness of human nature.

However.

After waiting for a period, about 30 seconds, Hacker Claw, somewhat worried, spoke again.

“But… we can’t just keep waiting here, can we? There’s been no movement over there for so long; I feel it’s a bit strange.”

Hacker Claw wasn't the only one who felt strange; hearing the silence from the adjacent warehouse, Xia Ming also felt very surprised.

Just a moment ago, Seyid was still smirking and approaching their position step by step, but suddenly he stopped moving, as if an enemy in a game had glitched and disappeared on the spot.

Faced with this situation, Xia Ming also had to consider whether the opponent still had a risk of being alive.

There had been no movement from the adjacent warehouse for almost a minute; perhaps Seyid truly died on the spot.

Although the probability was very small, it wasn't impossible for the opponent to suddenly suffer from an acute illness like a heart attack or high blood pressure and die on the spot within the Restricted Zone.

Before, Xia Ming had seen similar news videos on some short video platform, saying that a Seyid in a Confidential Dam Restricted Zone in a certain California region of Lighthouse Country had suddenly died of a heart attack on the spot, allowing a nearby civilian team to directly pick up his equipment and dropped supplies, resulting in a 500,000 haifu coin profitable extraction.

At the time, Xia Ming only viewed it as a bizarre news story, but the scene appearing before his eyes now seemed to be a re-enactment of that news.

“How about you throw a drone or a dart to test it?”

“Throw a tool?”

“Exactly. If Seyid is still alive, your tool will definitely send back feedback. If there’s no feedback, he very likely might have truly died suddenly.”

“Okay, I’ll try.”

Xia Ming quickly thought of a method, and Hacker Claw also took out a flash drone and threw it out.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz—

As the drone flew into the middle warehouse, no alert came back.

Hacker Claw did not relax her guard but instead threw another flash drone outside the warehouse door.

This time, the drone bounced off a truck and then accurately flew into the easternmost warehouse.

“No reaction?”

Seeing that the flying device didn't flash or send back any feedback after reaching the target location, Hacker Claw felt confused and even more shocked.

Could it be that Seyid really died suddenly?

How could that be!

It should be known that their team had two members instantly killed by Seyid through a wall, and the Dragon Country TOP1 team that arrived later immediately chose to flee after learning of Seyid's extraordinary equipment.

In this battle, who else could have killed Seyid?

“Let’s go, let’s go check.”

Xia Ming no longer waited, immediately jumped down from the weapon crate, and with a burst of air current, he accelerated directly towards the easternmost warehouse.

Seeing this, Hacker Claw also stopped hesitating, stood up, and quickly followed.

When the two arrived at the eastern warehouse, they saw a shocking scene.

“This…”

“How is this possible!?”

When Xia Ming saw the scene before him, he was just stunned, but Hacker Claw beside him was already incredibly shocked!

They saw.

Right there in the eastern warehouse, Seyid’s body lay quietly beside the stairs.

Blood flowed from his heart, already forming a pool of blood beneath his body.

And on the wall Seyid was leaning against, there was a slender crack, with a graffiti-like splatter of Seyid's blood next to it, like a blooming five-star flower.

This Seyid, wearing high-grade armor, was actually killed by someone else!

The moment this thought appeared in Xia Ming’s mind, he involuntarily opened his mouth wide, his eyes filled with an expression of disbelief.

At this moment, if it wasn't that Dragon Country TOP1 team who could kill Seyid in the Restricted Zone, could it be…?

“Look, his equipment has been stripped!”

And just then, Hacker Claw’s exclamation came from his ear, and Xia Ming also quickly looked down to check Seyid’s condition.

They saw.

The strangely shaped armor he was wearing was gone, and even his M249, as well as his backpack and chest rig, were missing.

Now, on Seyid's corpse, only the black and red Asala Forces military uniform he always wore remained.

“So, someone, in less than a minute, easily killed Seyid without making any sound or movement, and then silently stripped all his equipment and weapons?”

Seeing this scene, Xia Ming’s heart was left with only deep shock!

And compared to Hacker Claw, who was still feeling puzzled, the shock in his heart at this moment was many times greater than hers!

Because he already had the answer as to who killed Seyid!

What Xia Ming never expected was.

This person's strength was actually so powerful!

This was even beyond what a human could do; this guy was simply not human!

......

“Current Location: Zero Dam (Eternal Night) - Administrative Building East Building Managers Office.”

“Current Drop Rate: Top Secret”

“Current Game End Time: 17 minutes 37 seconds”

“Tip: Please complete extraction before time runs out!”

“Trouble solved?”

In the East Building Managers Office.

Seeing Xiao Yun's figure appear at the doorway, Liu Shihhan, who was sitting on the sofa by the door, also breathed a sigh of relief.

“What now? Should we just pull the lever and extract?”

“Not for this round… I’ll check the situation first.”

As soon as Xiao Yun thought that Xia Ming and Xiao Hongshan were also in this match, he abandoned his idea of pulling the lever and extracting.

After all, extracting by pulling the lever at this moment would be tantamount to telling the entire map that a mysterious expert in the Administrative District had already dealt with Seyid, leaving the other teams to compete for the last 'drop package' extraction and the three 'paid' extraction slots.

In that case, among the six people still remaining on the field, two would have to be lost in this match.

And looking at Xia Ming’s situation now, he seemed to have already known that Seyid was killed by himself, so if he left the lever extraction to them, as long as they didn’t fight among themselves, perhaps all six remaining people could extract.

And after experiencing so many events just now, Xiao Yun estimated that these people should now have no desire to fight.

【Ding! “Destiny” Skill has been activated!】

Thinking this, Xiao Yun also activated his Destiny Skill to check the whereabouts of the other teams.

He saw that the team Xiao Hongshan was with did not run far after leaving the Administrative District, but instead squatted in the area between the Large Substation and the Administrative District, quietly listening to the situation inside.

At this moment, hearing Xia Ming and Hacker Claw's surprised voices from inside, they also felt very puzzled and seemed ready to go in and check the situation.

“Let’s go, we’ll do the mission extraction.”

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yun also chose to take Liu Shihhan to complete a few missions and then use the mission extraction.

“Oh, that’s so troublesome.”

“Then how about just a direct ‘drop package’ extraction?”

“Hmm, that’s more convenient.”

Liu Shihhan nodded silently, then extended her right hand to Xiao Yun, palm open, and raised four slender fingers upwards.

“What for?”

Xiao Yun asked, puzzled.

“Give me the equipment and the backpack and chest rig; I’ll go for the ‘drop package’ extraction.”

“Who said I was going to let you extract?”

“Hey! Do you mean I should give everything to you, then I die, and you go for the ‘drop package’ extraction?”

Liu Shihhan raised one eyebrow and lowered the other, staring at Xiao Yun with a very strange expression.

But Xiao Yun remained expressionless, calmly retorting.

“Otherwise?”
